SciDome at Home! - Solar Superstorms

Friday, May 29 - 12:00 PM

Experience the SciDome at home! In partnership with Spitz, Inc., we invite you to enjoy one of our most popular planetarium shows reformatted for your screen!

Travel into the tangle of magnetic fields and super hot plasma that vent the sun’s rage in dramatic flares, violent solar tornadoes, and the largest eruptions in the Solar System: coronal mass ejections. The show features one of the most intensive efforts ever made to visualize the Sun’s inner workings, including a series of groundbreaking scientific visualizations computed on the giant supercomputing initiative, Blue Waters, based at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, University of Illinois.

Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch
